National Donate Life Month

April is National Donate Life Month!

Celebrated annually in April, National Donate Life Month (NDLM) features an entire month of local, regional and national activities to help encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to celebrate those that have saved lives through the gift of donation. Did you know that over 2,500 people right here in our community are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant? You can be someone’s hero by registering as an organ, eye and tissue donor at the driver license office or online at DonateLifeColorado.org or DonateLifeWyoming.org! This April we’re encouraging everyone to “Show Your Heart” in support of National Donate Life Month! Throughout the month we’ll be celebrating NDLM at events across Colorado and Wyoming.

How Can I Help Spread Awareness in April?

It’s easy! We have several different ways that you can help us promote organ, eye and tissue donation in your community!

Show Your Heart: We’ve hidden hearts across Colorado and Wyoming. If you find a heart, share a photo of it on social media using #ShowYourHeart and tell your followers why you support organ, eye and tissue donation. After that you can add your personal note and leave as an inspirational surprise for another to find. You can also take the heart or show the heart on your license at one of our partner businesses for special discounts! Learn more about the Show Your Heart project here.

Blue and Green Day on April 13: On Friday, April 13th, supporters of organ, eye and tissue donation around the United States will celebrate National Blue & Green Day as part of National Donate Life Month! Use this opportunity to dress in your best blue and green to raise awareness for the importance of organ, eye and tissue donation, and encourage your family, friends, coworkers and schoolmates to do the same. Don’t forget to share your photos on social media and be sure to tag us!

Come to one of our events in April: During the month of April we’ll be at events all around Colorado and Wyoming! You can catch us at the Denver Auto Show, the Wyoming Donor Dash and at special Show Your Heart events just to name a few. Stop by and see us for lots of fun and free Donate Life prizes!
